This is interesting - to me at least. Universal income and Laffer at 35 mins, but that's not a particularly interesting bit.

I feel Richard contradicts himself too often, and, like most pundits, lacks detail. Calls Laffer, then says high income tax rates to support UBI would encourage tax evasion. Isn’t that what the Laffer curve is all about? Says inflation is good, then says 2% is arbitrary (which it is), but, does not offer anything on what the figure should be.

It's a YouTube video for the masses. My guess is if you contact him he'll talk you through the detail, he seems like that sort of bloke.

Yes, I have followed his podcast, and, one of my drinking pals is a convert to him, always bending my ear about him. I am afraid I am not convinced personally.
